Symbol Guide
ASTERISKS: * to repeat instructions after a single asterisk as directed. Example *sc in ch-1 sp; ch 1, sk NEXT hdc; sc in
NEXT ch-1 sp; ch 1, sk NEXT FPdc; repeat from * around
PARENTHESES: ( ) indicates a group of sts that are worked together in or around the same st. I also use parentheses to
indicate the name of sts skipped. Example #1: (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in ch-2 sp. Example #2: sk NEXT (2 hdc, ch-1 sp, 2 hdc).
BRACKETS: [ ] repeat instructions within brackets as directed. Example: [dc, ch 1, dc in NEXT dc; ch 1, sk tr] 2 times
COUNT TOTALS: Total chain spaces are included in the st count; corner chain spaces are not included in the total.
Example: Counts: 48 dc, 36 FPtr, 8 ch-2 sp, 4 ch-2 corner sp (100 total/25 per side)

Special Instructions
Instructions for ALL rounds start with a standing stitch and end with an invisible join to 2nd st of rnd, and
fasten off. If not changing colors, you can opt to finish the previous rnd with a slip stitch join and use the
appropriate "ch" or "chainless starting stitch" to begin the next round. Keep in mind that if you choose the slip
stitch end, the "ch" or "chainless starting stitch" will replace the first standing st of the round.

Blocking is a great way to put the finishing touches on your square. It allows you to reach your final shape and size. It
also opens up your stitches, making them even and more defined; giving it a more professional appearance.
You can either wet block or steam block, but always make sure you are careful when steam blocking acrylic yarn. This
